The Sava, the longest river in the Balkans, is untamed and capricious. The large and mighty Danube is known to most. The second longest river in Europe, the Danube connects Belgrade with world seas - the North Sea, at Rotterdam, through the Rhine-Main-Danube Canal and the Black Sea, into which it flows. Nestled at the confluence of the Danube and Sava Rivers, Belgrade is ranked third among the world cities with the most beautiful location (only after Rio de Janeiro and Istanbul). The Belgraders make the most of their rivers - in summertime over 100,000 bathers come daily to the beaches of Lake Ada Ciganlija and there will be thousands more enjoying themselves in floating cabins and boats on the Danube and Sava.

On the other hand, the city planners seem not to have given riverbanks much thought, as railway tracks and warehouses stand between the rivers and the city centre and cleaning up the riverbanks does not sit very high on the city management’s “to do list”. Still, there are loads of ways to enjoy the rivers. The most beautiful stretches of river for a leisurely stroll are the quay on the Sava’s left bank between Block 45 and 70, the quay on New Belgrade side of the Sava from Branko’s Bridge to the confluence with the Danube and from there all the way to Gardoš in Zemun, and the quay on the Sava’s right bank starting from the cruise terminal under the Branko’s Bridge, curving towards sports centre on the Danube. For cycling by the river, there are great bike paths leading along the Sava’s bank from Dorćol to Ada Ciganlija. The scenic river islands - Ada Ciganlija and Ada Međica on the Sava and the Great War Island on the Danube hold many attractions and are well worth a visit.

Finally, for those who prefer to explore the rivers without getting wet or breaking a sweat, a boat cruise coupled with a drink or lunch will deliver just that. In addition to floating restaurants and clubs, Belgrade rivers feature several hundreds of floating cabins. They are typically constructed on wooden platforms buoyed by metal barrels. The size and design will depend on the owner’s requirements and the inclination to be seen. While some cabins are so teeny tiny they can barely fit a bed and a stove, some are spread over two floors boasting a size worthy of a small mansion. In summertime, plumes of smoke rise over these cabins - telltale signs of barbeque or cauldrons simmering with beans or fish soup. The drinks of choice are the white wine spritzer and beer chilled in the river. The winter largely drives away the happy cabin crews, but there are still those who will brave the cold to escape the city noise. And then, regardless of the weather, the floating cabins are always a convenient spot for a bit of dalliance. SWIMMING Belgraders are immune to the consequences of swimming in muddy rivers.

The best places for wild swimming are Lido Beach on the Great War Island (in the Danube) and the lower tip of Ada Međica (in the Sava). Poor swimmers are to be discouraged from indulging in this adventure - there are no lifeguards, and rivers can be perilous (the Danube in particular). There are strong currents, numerous eddies and waves created by boats to be reckoned with. For a safe swim, it is best to go to Lake Ada Ciganlija. TIP When you go out to the river on a summer evening, it is prudent to bring a light pullover or jacket as evenings by the water can get breezy. Also bring mosquito repellent as defence against mozzies which will come in thick swarms around sunset looking for blood, attacking viciously and persistently for the next 2 or 3 hours. RIVER CRUISES Yachting Club KEJ, Tel: 3165-432, . Daytime and night time cruises of various lengths and routes that may include lunch, dinner and live music.

Daytime and night time cruises, trips to Bela Stena (sandy beach on an island in the Danube, 10 km from the city centre). Departure from the cruise terminal. GREAT WAR ISLAND An island lying at the confluence of the Sava and the Danube rivers. The martial ring to its name evokes its strategic importance for either conquest or defence of the Belgrade Fortress. It can be reached by small light boats operating from the Zemun Quay or by crossing a pontoon bridge connecting it to the mainland in summertime.

The northern tip of the island, opposite the Zemun Quay, is a sandbar - the popular Lido Beach. Although crowded in summer, the beach is not developed as the one on Ada Ciganlija, and you will have to bring with you virtually everything you need. The rest of the island is covered in forests and clearings, providing a habitat for a variety of small game and over a hundred bird species, including many endangered species. This is an ideal location for birdwatchers, who should include ample supplies of mosquito repellent in their birding kit. The island has changed shape throughout history, moulded by the Danube’s mighty currents, and its present outline dates back to 1944, when two German barges were sunk near its shores. Eventually, sediment deposition covered the barges and they became part of the island, cementing its shape. ADA MEĐICA A small island in the Sava, covered with trees.

The only means of transport to and from the island is a small local boat leaving from the Sava quay in New Belgrade Block 44 (reach the quay at the end of Gandijeva Street and turn right, where you will find a smallish platform bearing inscription "Prevoz na Adu Međicu" meaning “Transport to...”). The boat leaves every 10-20 minutes but there is no fixed schedule, and you should inquire with the boatman about the time of the last boat from the island. The fare you pay is the return fare. A concrete path runs the length of the island and you can enjoy a leisurely walk among picturesque and lovingly maintained private floating cabins and stilt houses. The latter are raised on piles as a protection against flooding, seemingly floating in mid-air. There is no electricity or water, showers or public toilets, and unless you are invited by one of the cabin owners, it is convenient for short visits only. The south-eastern tip of the island is a good place for swimming in the Sava. There is a smallish quay with metal steps affording an easy access to the river (a bit slippery at the bottom).

The current is quite strong here and it is not a good idea to relax and let yourself drift, with your eyes closed, because the river will gently and swiftly carry you away. You will want to bring water and a snack because hanging out by the river has a way of making you hungry. The code of conduct requires that you take all your garbage with you when you leave. After a spell of swimming, sunbathing and walking, as you wait for the boat to take you back to the mainland, you can while away the time sipping a beer in a small, basic café, perched right next to the boat platform. The island is unspoilt by modern tourism and there is the Ada Međica Fan Club - an association of citizens taking care it stays that way. ADA CIGANLIJA A big island in the Sava, Belgrade’s most popular resort and bathing & lounging location. There are embankments connecting the island to the mainland, thereby creating an artificial lake, 4.2 km long, 200m wide and 4-6m deep. Both sides of the lake are nowadays well-developed beaches lined with showers, toilets, cafés and restaurants.

A part of the beach on the island side is reserved for nudists, and a part on the mainland side is reserved for masochists (those who can withstand obnoxiously loud music pouring from several disco bars at the same time). The choice of food in beach restaurants is varied, but not exactly first-rate. Some of the beach bars on the mainland side of the lake (Makiš side) are open all year round and feature live entertainment in the evening, the most popular among them being Red Shoes, Sunset and Miss Moneypenny. The bathing season on the lake usually runs from 15 June until the end of September, with lifeguards on duty from 10 am to 8 pm. The water is warm and clean to swim in, clear when undisturbed, but cloudy once you wade in, stirring the sediments. If you dive in, you will probably not be able to see a thing. In addition to water sports (swimming, cable skiing, kayaking, rowing, pedalos) Ada has a large number of football pitches, basketball and volleyball courts, all free to use, and you will only need to bring your own ball.

Other sport facilities include playing fields for American football, baseball, rugby, hockey, fitness trails, bowling alley, table tennis, tennis courts, 9-hole golf course, mini-golf, climbing wall, soap football, paintball field, bungee jumping platform (55m high), dry ski slope for skiing and snowboarding... There are paths for bikes and skates (available for hire) weaving through the forest, and you can go round the lake in an electric train. The island also features marked picnic spots with barbeque grills, children’s play areas, adventure playground. At the upper tip of the island, there is a small fishing lake brimming with carp, as well as rowing clubs located at the Sava inlet, which also features a boat marina. On the opposite side of the island, the bank of the Sava River is dotted with dozens of floating cabins. In wintertime, the lake freezes over, with the ice normally not thick enough to walk on, let alone skate, but the skaters will appreciate a large ice skating rink constructed near the lake.

You can reach Ada by bus, car (there is a large car park at the entry to the island, charging about 2€ for all-day fare), taxi, bicycle (cycle path runs from Dorćol to Ada, along the Sava bank) and by boat. Boats operate between Ada Ciganlija and the quay in New Belgrade Blocks 44 and 70 (from 08-20 in fine weather) and the return fare is about 1€. Boat transport is the best choice for those coming to Ada from New Belgrade or Zemun (bikes accepted on boats). In the evening, almost everyone starts to leave at the same time, as if by prior arrangement. The city bound bus stop is usually overcrowded at this hour and you might even have to miss several busses before you can squeeze in. Drivers may face a long queue, further exacerbated by the traffic lights at the exit with ridiculously short green light. river//cities Warsaw Belgrade, city on the two rivers, settled at the confluence of the Danube and Sava Rivers, Belgrade is ranked third among the world cities with the most beautiful location (only after Rio de Janeiro and Istanbul).

It is located at the confluence of the Sava and Danube rivers, where the Pannonian Plain meets the Balkans. Its name translates to White city. The city proper has a population of over 2 million people. One of the most important prehistoric cultures of Europe, the Vinča culture, evolved within the Belgrade area in the 6th millennium BC. In antiquity, Thraco-Dacians inhabited the region, and after 279 BC Celts conquered the city, naming it Singidūn. It was conquered by the Romans during the reign of Augustus, and awarded city rights in the mid 2nd century.

It was settled by the Slavs in the 520s, and changed hands several times between the Byzantine Empire, Frankish Empire, Bulgarian Empire and Kingdom of Hungary before it became the capital of Serbian King Stephen Dragutin (1282--1316). In 1521, Belgrade was conquered by the Ottoman Empire and became the seat of the Sanjak of Smederevo. It frequently passed from Ottoman to Habsburg rule, which saw the destruction of most of the city during the Austro-Ottoman wars. Belgrade was again named the capital of Serbia in 1841. Northern Belgrade remained the southernmost Habsburg post until 1918, when the city was reunited. As a strategic location, the city was battled over in 115 wars and razed to the ground 44 times. Belgrade was the capital of Yugoslavia (in various forms of governments) from its creation in 1918, to its final dissolution in 2006. Belgrade has a special administrative status within Serbia and it is one of five statistical regions of Serbia.

Its metropolitan territory is divided into 17 municipalities, each with its own local council. It covers 3.6% of Serbia's territory, and 22.5% of the country's population lives in the city. The city has been awarded many titles, and the nomination for European Capital of Culture 2020. Houseboats on Ada Ciganlija Extreme sports are available, such as bungee jumping, water skiing, and paintballing. There are numerous tracks on the island, where it is possible to ride a bike, go for a walk, or go jogging. Apart from Ada, Belgrade has total of 16 islands on the rivers, many still unused.

Famous alternative clubs include Akademija and the famed KST (Klub Studenata Tehnike), located in the basement of the University of Belgrade Faculty of Electrical Engineering. One of the most famous sites for alternative cultural happenings in the city is the SKC (Student Cultural Centre), located right across from Belgrade's highrise landmark, the Beograđanka. Concerts featuring famous local and foreign bands are often held at the center. SKC is also the site of various art exhibitions, as well as public debates and discussions.

Skadarlija, the city's old bohemian neighbourhood A more traditional Serbian nightlife experience, accompanied by traditional music known as Starogradska (roughly translated as Old Town Music), typical of northern Serbia's urban environments, is most prominent in Skadarlija, the city's old bohemian neighborhood where the poets and artists of Belgrade gathered in the 19th and early 20th centuries. Skadar Street (the centre of Skadarlija) and the surrounding neighbourhood are lined with some of Belgrade's best and oldest traditional restaurants (called kafanas in Serbian), which date back to that period. At one end of the neighbourhood stands Belgrade's oldest beer brewery, founded in the first half of the 19th century. One of the city's oldest kafanas is the Znak pitanja.

What People Are Saying About Belgrade knowledgeable, friendly guide, interesting glimpse of serb experience Nina´s professionality, pleasant personality, extensive knowledge, beautiful English and flexibility, as well as her emotional involvement in the past and recent history of her country and her city, made our 3 hour tour a highlight in our altogether rewarding Christmas week stay in Beograd. We knew little about the so long, ever turbulent history of the region, and were also interested to hear a Serbian perspective of more recent issues that have been and will perhaps for a long time remain controversial. She also asked interesting questions about our own part of the world and listened attentively. We appreciated all of it. We recommend the tour and Nina strongly and hope the best for the future of the region. 2010 - DISCOVER BELGRADE - Capital of Serbia - HD - High Definition Trailer - YouTube 2010 - DISCOVER BELGRADE - Capital of Serbia - HD - High Definition Trailer Want to watch this again later?

Uploaded on Jan 11, 2010 Belgrade is the capital and largest city of Serbia. The city lies on two international waterways, at the confluence of the Sava and Danube rivers, where the Pannonian Plain meets the Balkan Peninsula. With a population of 1,630,000 (official estimate 2007) , Belgrade is the largest city in the territory of the former Yugoslavia, second largest city on the Danube river and the third largest in Southeastern Europe, after Istanbul and Athens. One of the oldest cities in Europe, with archeological finds tracing settlements as early as the 6th millennium BC, Belgrade's wider city area was the birthplace of the largest prehistoric culture of Europe, the Vinča culture. The city was discovered by the Greeks, founded and named by the Celts (White City, name it still bears), awarded city rights by the Romans before it was permanently settled by White Serbs from the 600s onwards. As a strategic key, the city was battled over in 115 international conflicts and razed to the ground 44 times since the ancient period by countless armies of the East and West.

In medieval times, it was in the possession of Byzantine, Frankish, Bulgarian, Hungarian and Serbian rulers. In 1521 Belgrade was conquered by the Ottomans and became the seat of the Pashaluk of Belgrade, as the principal city of Ottoman Europe and among the largest European cities. Frequently passing from Ottoman to Austrian rule, the status of Serbian capital would be regained only in 1841, after the Serbian revolution. Northern Belgrade, though, remained an Austrian outpost until the breakup of Austria-Hungary in 1918. The united city then became the capital of several incarnations of Yugoslavia, up to 2006, when Serbia became an independent state again. An economic and cultural boom followed. Belgrade has the status of a separate territorial unit in Serbia, with its own autonomous city government. Its territory is divided into 17 municipalities, each having its own local council. It covers 3.6% of the territory of Serbia, and 24% of the country's population lives in the city. Belgrade is the central economic hub of Serbia, and the capital of Serbian culture, education and science.
